The match offered little in the way of clear chances. Otrant-Olympic controlled possession at 53 per cent and registered eight corners, but only four shots hit the target. Petrovac managed just one corner and six shots on target from 87 attacks. The game settled into a pattern where both sides kept knocking on the door without finding the net.
Discipline was a talking point, with eight yellow cards shown in total. Otrant-Olympic picked up three, including one at the 74th minute, while Petrovac collected five, with the latest coming at 90+2. Neither side lost a player to a red card, but the bookings suggest a contest that grew increasingly tight.
Looking at the numbers, Otrant-Olympic had more attacks and corners, yet Petrovac were slightly more accurate with their shooting. Four shots on target for the hosts against six for the visitors, but neither could convert. It was one of those games where the statistics tell a story of near misses rather than dominance.
The result means Otrant-Olympic extend their unbeaten run to four matches, while Petrovac have now drawn four of their six games. The hosts will be disappointed not to take all three points at home, but they hold the tie in their own hands for future rounds. In this league, even a point away from home can feel like a victory.
